How Singapore taxes crypto
Singapore does not generally impose capital gains tax, so long-term crypto investment gains by individual investors are commonly treated as non-taxable. However, profits from frequent trading, market-making, mining, staking in some circumstances, or crypto activities carried on as a business may be taxed as ordinary income. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore focuses on the facts and intent of the activity, so record-keeping and professional advice remain important.

This is the arithmetic the app runs on your device. Real liability depends on your residency, income, allowances and how the authority classifies your activity. Treat it as an estimate and check with a qualified adviser before you act.
